Hi Tipsters overthere, Today's question may sound quite technical, but... I am studying motivation at school with my students, using a book by 2 French authors who introduce their chapter on reward & punishment by presentiing Tolman and Hull as opponents (actually resorting to a boxing sport metaphor: "Ladies & gentlemen, on my right..." kind-of-thing). Hull is presented as a hard core behaviorist, and Tolman as a precursor of cognitivists. My question is many-fold: 1. Is it right or fair to present them this way? 2. What are the historical and intellectual relationships between both? Who came first? Who shot first? 3. Was there an open and contemporaneous controversy between them? Did they refute, contradict, influence eachother? Or is it more like a textbook controversy?
I know yau are all pretty busy, but I hope someone can give me a hint on that one. BTW, which come next in your calandar: Thankgiving or Hanukka? Or is it Christmas?
